I love the motor vehicle department here in the North Country vs New York City 10 times over. But to get someone on the phone, they need a better system.

Just can't believe how quickly they have become. Plenty of teller's to handle everything. Kind and knowledgeable and curtious.

Despite being very busy, they got us up to the counter in a timely manner after a 40 minute wait. But the lady with reddish hair who has bangs and glasses told us we didn't have enough points of proof for the name for an ID, (we were not told when we picked up the forms that we needed those items from the man at the help desk), and she rushed us over to the help desk (not to another employee), gave us a form to show what we needed, and refused to answer our questions about the points of proof by saying, "I don't know what who didn't tell you but I have to help other people" in a very snappy manner and rushed off. So we were left with unanswered questions, and nothing to show for the 40 minute wait. Not very great customer service on her part. We also noticed with other customers she was very very slow with helping people, and had the same people at her desk for 20+ minutes. She needs to work on her customer service attitude and her productivity.

No, during the pandemic shut down you could slide it under the door with the $1 surrender fee. They are not accepting that anymore

Jennifer Garrow | Sep 26, 2021

You would go to Setmore.com which Is the Website that DMV uses to make and/or Cancel appts. Then at the top right you will see Login. Then you can cancel your appt. It's the same page as to where you should have made the appt.

It will show you when the next available date is. I just made an appt with the Plattsburgh DMV the other day and they are scheduling out to April 28th right now so you are probably going to have to look in the month of May for the next available.. Just went and looked the next avaliable appt is for May 4 or 5th

I ordered a new auto title online through the DMV, but can I still go and get a copy for the bank before it gets here?

John Pelkey | Aug 27, 2022
Michael Lilledahl | Aug 27, 2022

I don't believe so. They want the original or a copy of the new one. DMV has been much quicker than they have in the past. Your not going to be waiting Long.

LAURIE RABIDEAU | Sep 26, 2020
Richard Burgos | Sep 26, 2020

Take a moment to go down and knock on the door. Most of the time you'll get someone. Ask the question at hand and hope they give you results. It worked for me.

I payed for my permit last year but it was never sent to me. If I go to the dmv to straighten and change the mailing address do I still have to repay my $85. Because i know they stull have my permit on file

Tori Lombard | Sep 26, 2020
Richard Burgos | Sep 26, 2020

jessejames carpenter | Sep 26, 2020

You can either wait in line in the lobby and wait for the lady to get the people who are scheduled. Ask her to schedule you. Or you can go online. For me, I went down and did it in person. It was quicker than doing it online. Good luck!
